UAE VAT Return Calculator
What this calculator does
UAE VAT is charged at the standard rate of 5%. For each tax period, your VAT return nets your Output Tax — the VAT you charge on standard-rated sales, plus VAT you self-account for on reverse-charge supplies you receive — against your recoverable Input Tax — the VAT you pay on standard-rated purchases and reverse-charge supplies, minus any non-recoverable "blocked" input tax (such as entertainment expenses or non-qualifying motor vehicles). If Output Tax exceeds recoverable Input Tax, the difference is payable to the Federal Tax Authority; if Input Tax exceeds Output Tax, the difference is refundable or can be carried forward as a credit. This tool calculates that net position for you.
